This composition is based on the Panjabi folk poetic form Alahania related to death. The first stanza guides the being to realize the Creator as pervading everywhere and in everyone. The second stanza conveys that the birth and death of a being and their deeds are under the will of the Creator. The third stanza mentions the obstacles that a being engrossed in vices faces on the path hereafter. The fourth stanza distinguishes between the state of the being connected with Nam and the one devoid of Nam. The one connected receives honor in the Court, whereas those devoid of Nam gain nothing despite toiling away.
